A New Face for a Rayleigh House
GC Fixings Ltd, a family run uPVC installer based near Ipswich, covers cladding installation in Rayleigh and the rest of Suffolk and Essex. Cladding gives a house a new face and an extra layer against the weather. GC Fixings Ltd supplies and installs both uPVC and James Hardie Plank cladding.
What does cladding do for the outside of a house?
It gives a building a new face in days rather than months. The boards add a barrier between the wall and the weather. Front gables and upper walls are where it is fitted most.
Both uPVC and James Hardie Plank cladding are supplied and fitted by GC Fixings Ltd, in a variety of colours, for residential and commercial properties. Either one needs far less upkeep than painted wood.
Which is better for my home, uPVC or composite cladding?
It depends on the look you want and the building: uPVC is light and low maintenance, while fibre cement gives a more natural finish. GC Fixings Ltd supplies and installs both uPVC and James Hardie Plank fibre cement cladding, so either can be quoted.
What does a soffit actually do?
A soffit is the horizontal board beneath the fascia that seals the underside of the eaves. Ventilated soffits keep air moving through the roof void, and moving air takes moisture with it.
A loft with no airflow collects condensation on the underside of the felt and on the timbers. Left long enough, that becomes mould and softened wood. GC Fixings Ltd fits soffits and, where a property needs them, over fascia vents to keep air flowing.
What are the downsides of using uPVC cladding?
uPVC cladding does not have the texture of timber or fibre cement, and a poor installation can let water sit behind the boards. That is one reason GC Fixings Ltd also offers James Hardie Plank, a fibre cement cladding with an A2 fire rating.
What is the difference between tilt and turn and box sash windows?
Tilt and turn windows tip inwards at the top for air and swing fully open for cleaning. Box sash sliders keep the traditional vertical sliding look that older houses were built with. Bays add space and daylight to a front room.
uPVC windows, tilt and turn, box sash sliders and bay windows are all supplied and fitted by GC Fixings Ltd, in a variety of colours and designs. The house double glazing near me itself usually tells you which style fits.
